Wu Junyao took a deep breath, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest strengthening the defense of the capital, and at the same time conduct a thorough investigation of all suspicious people inside and outside the palace to ensure that there will be no more dangers that threaten your safety."

The emperor nodded and said, "You are right. Pass on my order to increase the guards in the capital and closely monitor any abnormal movements."

At this time, Xiao Xiangzi, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke up: "There is one more thing that must be resolved as soon as possible. We need to find the mastermind behind the Tiangang Organization. Only in this way can we completely eradicate this scourge."

Jiang Yanwan nodded slowly, her expression solemn: "However, with the cunningness of Tiangang, they will definitely not reveal their true colors easily. We need a more thorough plan."

At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside the hall, and then a disheveled soldier rushed in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The granary in the south of the city suddenly caught fire, and now the fire is out of control!"

The emperor's face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered: "Order the imperial guards to rush to put out the fire and make sure to bring the fire under control!"

A strange light flashed in Wu Junyao's eyes: "I'm afraid this fire is not accidental. It is very likely that the enemy is making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."

The emperor pondered for a moment: "Jun Yao, do you mean that there are other conspiracies brewing?"

Wu Junyao nodded: "Yes, I suspect this is chaos created by the Tiangang Organization in order to cover up their other actions."

Jiang Yanwan also echoed: "We must act separately, on the one hand to control the fire, and on the other hand to search for suspicious people in the capital."

The emperor made a prompt decision and ordered, "Okay, Wu Junyao, you take a team to the south of the city to help put out the fire. Xiaoxiangzi and Jiang Yanwan, you stay to protect the imperial concubine and search for Tiangang with all your strength."

Wu Junyao took the order and immediately led a team of elite soldiers to the south of the city. Xiao Xiangzi and Jiang Yanwan, who stayed in the palace, also quickly took action. They arranged people to search inside and outside the palace, leaving no clues.

Concubine Yue looked at their busy figures and said gratefully: "Thanks to your help, I can be protected in this chaos."

Jiang Yanwan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Madam, we will do our best to protect you."

At the same time, Wu Junyao led his soldiers to the granary in the south of the city, where they saw flames rising to the sky. Dozens of soldiers were desperately trying to put out the fire, but the fire was still difficult to control. Wu Junyao quickly directed everyone to divide the work reasonably, and finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the fire was gradually brought under control.

Just when everyone was relieved, Wu Junyao suddenly heard a strange noise. He listened carefully and found that it came from an abandoned courtyard. He became alert and immediately took several soldiers to check.

As he approached the courtyard, he saw several ragged figures hurriedly moving something. Wu Junyao snorted coldly: "The remnants of Tiangang finally found you!"

When those people saw Wu Junyao, they were immediately horrified and drew their weapons in an attempt to resist. However, how could they match Wu Junyao's skills? In just a few moves, he subdued all the enemies.

One of them seemed to be the leader, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "Wu Junyao, do you think you can win by catching us? Tiangang will never be defeated!"

Wu Junyao sneered: "No matter how many of you there are, we will eliminate them one by one. Now, tell us who is behind you!"

The man gnashed his teeth, but didn't utter a word. Wu Junyao had no choice but to order the soldiers to escort them back to the palace for interrogation.

At the same time, Xiao Xiangzi and Jiang Yanwan's rigorous search inside and outside the palace also made some breakthroughs. They found some suspicious traces and gradually locked onto a very hidden secret room. The two entered the secret room cautiously and found that there were a large number of weapons and medicines stored inside, which was obviously an enemy stronghold.

Xiao Xiangzi sneered: "It seems that Tian Gang has already laid multiple ambushes in the palace."

Jiang Yanwan looked around, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes: "These weapons and medicines are probably just the tip of the iceberg. We need to find more evidence to completely uncover the veil of Tiangang."

Just as they continued their search, a voice suddenly came from the darkness: "How dare you break in here, you're looking for death!" Along with the voice, a masked man in black suddenly attacked, and every move was deadly.

Xiao Xiangzi and Jiang Yanwan did not dare to be careless and quickly responded to the fight. The three of them fought back and forth, and it was hard to separate. Xiao Xiangzi stabilized the situation, suddenly exerted force, and hit the man in black with a palm, causing him to retreat a few steps and hit the wall.

The man in black covered his chest and panted, saying: "You...will never be able to stop Tiangang's ambition..."

Xiao Xiangzi sneered: "With our presence, we will never let your conspiracy succeed."

The man in black stared with his eyes wide open, fell to the ground unwillingly, and lost the last bit of life.

Then, Xiaoxiangzi and Jiang Yanwan quickly cleaned up the items in the secret room and brought all the evidence they found back to the palace. They knew that these evidences would become important clues to uncover the conspiracy of the Tiangang organization.

As the night deepened, the capital gradually returned to calm, but people knew that this was only the calm before the storm. In the palace, everyone's contest with Tian Gang continued.

The next morning, Wu Junyao returned to the palace with the prisoners. The emperor personally interrogated these Tiangang members, but their mouths were as hard as iron and they refused to reveal any valuable information.

Wu Junyao had no choice but to hand over some evidence he had found in the secret room. The emperor flipped through it and frowned, "Although these evidences are valuable, they are still not enough to find out the real leader of Tiangang."

Jiang Yanwan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, perhaps we can use a trick to lure the snake out of its hole."

Wu Junyao and Xiao Xiangzi looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Yes, this is an opportunity."

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me about your plan."

Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and said slowly: "We can spread the word that Governor Wu has captured the top leaders of Tiangang in this operation and has mastered their core secrets. In this way, the leader of Tiangang will surely be eager to silence them and come to support or destroy the evidence."

Wu Junyao nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. We can use this opportunity to set a trap, wait for the rabbit, and capture the leader of Tiangang in one fell swoop."

Xiao Xiangzi's eyes were sharp, and he added: "However, we must be fully prepared, because the leader of Tian Gang will never be fooled easily. They may have a backup plan."

The emperor pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's proceed according to your plan. But you must be careful and never take it lightly."

In the next few days, Wu Junyao and his team began to carefully plan this operation to lure the snake out of its hole. They set up a fake interrogation room and quietly spread the news, pretending that they had controlled the top leaders of Tiangang.

The news spread quickly and soon spread throughout the capital. The Tiangang organization was indeed thinking about it, and they sent out several groups of spies to try to find out the truth. Wu Junyao and Xiaoxiangzi responded calmly and captured those spies one by one, but still did not get any clues about the leader.

As night fell, in a hidden valley outside the capital, a cloaked figure stood in the darkness, looking deep into the distance. This person was none other than the leader of the Tian Gang - "Wu Ying".

He spoke coldly to his confidant: "It seems that the court really has some key information. We must take action."

The confidant responded respectfully: "Leader, should we send out our most elite troops to raid the capital directly?"

Wuying's eyes were grim, and he shook his head and said, "No, we have to take them by surprise and cover our retreat. We will first send people to sneak into the capital to create chaos, forcing the court to divert their attention, and then we will act."
